It doesn’t matter how you try to justify it, any amount of framing transfem transitions as a glow-up but transmasc transitions as a glow-down, even as a "joke,” hurts people. Stop saying things that discourage us from transitioning, it isn’t funny, progressive, or acceptable. If you say you find men and masculinity “boring” compared to women and femininity, A) skill issue, us queer and trans folks do some awesome shit with it, and B) so what, I’m transitioning to align with my gender, not to appeal to your interests. Feeling more comfortable in my body is an upgrade no matter what and also I look hot as hell doing it. And if you claim we can take it because we somehow already get privileged/rewarded for wanting to be men/masc, you’re just flat out wrong—transphobia and misogyny exist and already discourage us from embracing masculinity at every turn. Transmasc transitions are beautiful and radical. Show them the respect they deserve or get out.

so it turns out when you try to improve pacing you end up making comics that are 2.5x the length you expected them to be.

the next one will be on my nsfw blog

It's kind of comforting to have part of your queerness kept inside by choice. Being closeted by force isn't comforting, but I think there can be a sense of peace when you choose not to talk about part of your queerness. It feels like I am able to honour myself on my own, and I'm able to be happy with myself and not include anybody else in that.

do u think either charles or erik had trouble coming to terms with their love for one another?? like religious guilt, internalized homophobia, etc.

Many such cases really … not hard to imagine them dealin with that …

well met, my sweet tumblr babies 🖤 thank you for your patience as i have been slow to respond, reply & reblog. losing mina set me down a dark depression hole but also, my pain spiked a few days ago & it is v fucking distracting. my average pain level is around a 7, at times 8 but, we are well into 9. i feel like my bones are corroding, my joints are on fire & like the majority of my muscle strength fucked off. my eyes are burning extra & it hurts a lot to cry. for those who don't know, i suffer from scleroderma, arthritis, ehlers-danlos, pcos, fibromyalgia as a result of the sclero & i get to have ptsd, depression, adhd AND autism on top of that *lazily throws confetti*

i am trying to take care of myself but can only do v small amounts at a time. if any of you beautiful lot are able to help this week primarily with food, meds & other groceries, i would be incredibly grateful. please do not help if you cannot afford to; i appreciate the want to either way 🤗 hopefully after the next few days, i have a bit of relief & can get back to attempting to be sexy 💋

'If you're doom scrolling this tag-' shut up. Get out of the tag that you, yourself detest, block it, and move on. You're helping nobody with these corny ass posts; if anything you're exposing yourself to the very thing you hate. You're triggering yourself. And if you doom scroll, get out of the tag and block it. It's that simple.

i think it's time that we as a society realized that actually eternals wasn't bad it was just not standard marvel fare and that's okay

Look I'm just one semester in but the friends I made in uni(/college) so far are some of the best friends and people I've ever met

They're so- AGH

The level of comfort I'm on with those people is insane considering I've only known them since October

okay so wrt that last post: yes, we want the sprinkling of queer romance on top of the rest of the plot, not for queer romance to be the entirety of the plot, that's definitely a thing and yes we want more queer sci-fi and queer fantasy etc etc.

BUT ALSO on the subject of those queerbaity shows and early 2000s shipper fandom....

i think the fact that you HAD to work for it was, in fact, part of the appeal! you didn't just get the queer romance handed to you on a silver platter, you had to, like. figure out the parts that were secretly queer, look for all the little hints that were dropped.

honestly? theorizing about queer-coded characters that were not explicitly textually queer felt a LOT like the internet working out the existence of standford pines on gravity falls, or steven universe fans figuring out garnet was a fusion. like, yes, sometimes it felt like the writers WERE leaving clues that you WERE intended to pick up on if you wanted to look! it was like solving a mystery, by looking into all these little tidbits and possible clues that were sprinkled everywhere. you had to WORK for it to read the relationship there, and that was part of the fun!

granted, the difference is that the queerbaiting was JUST queerbaiting and the gayness did not get a big dramatic reveal because they were not INTENDED to be part of the story, but there was still real sense of enjoyment we got out of deep analysis and queer readings that i think is kind of. lacking in modern shipping fandom?

idk, you just don't get 3k-word posts about how dean winchester is named for dean moriarty from on the road who was based on a man who may have been bisexual in real life and how that underlies the way he's written and portrayed on the show in a way that may not even be intended by the original authors in modern fandoms these days.

I feel that there’s a world of difference between “fandomizing real world politics and tragedies” (in my understanding - applying ‘fandom’ to, well, real world politics and tragedies eg. shipping war criminals or writing rpf for victims of traumatic events) and “making fandom art which acknowledges real world politics and tragedies” (in my understanding - political cartoons/art with a particular flag/etc.).

I’m not saying that the latter can’t be insensitive or in poor taste depending on execution but also…idk it’s weird to see tumblr activists freaking the fuck out over art of dunmesh senshi bringing food to Gaza. I can’t believe that’s the hill you want to kill (your own allies nonetheless!) on. We have people writing smut for about specific IOF soldiers or shipping Palestinian journalists, like, is the comic imagining a fictional character showing up to help people in a horrific situation really what you want to call tone deaf and insensitive?

[monkee-mobile]

see neftoon zamora is a weird book with an ending that kind of undermines a lot of the ideas presented in the book, but i love it a lot and i feel like a lot of people were turned off by it because they find it odd that mike made himself the main character and i just have to say… they’re not… their sp… one of their main special interests is not mike nesmith’s entire fucking past… they just think of him as the random monkee guy who invented mtv… so they don’t get it… they don’t get it like i do…

Never ceases to amuse me that the grown ass men in huge trucks who shout nasty shit at me from their car window always speed up and drive away when I tell them to say that again to my face. Almost like your idea of masculinity has nothing to do with strength at all and is just relying on being the status quo so you can put other people down to make up for your lack of intellect, unfulfilling life, and inability to please a sexual partner. So funny seeing a fem person with a beard l!!! Up until you realize you're only "man" enough to harass them from the safety of your overpriced oversized truck that has never seen a dirt road in its life. But tell me again how your gender isn't performative!!
